The 2024/2025 "AI Wrapper" collapse taught the market a rather expensive lesson. Dozens of highly touted, seed-stage AI startups raised at >£40M valuations, only to falter within 18 months. The culprit was rarely a lack of vision; it was a fundamental failure to audit the underlying unit economics of API calls and the precarious absence of a proprietary data moat.

Investors inadvertently bought £15M prompt-engineering facades that suffered 90% margin erosion the moment they attempted to scale.

At Codigm, we believe your capital should build the future, rather than pay for the architectural mistakes of the past. We translate "Vector DBs and LLM orchestration" into the metrics that matter: Valuation, Risk, and Time-to-Market.

Codigm was founded on a simple premise: one cannot accurately judge the resilience of an industrial-scale system unless one has built and maintained them under immense pressure.

With over two decades of experience leading engineering teams in high-stakes environments, from finance to logistics, we have seen every variety of software architecture buckle under load. We know precisely where the proverbial bodies are buried, because we have spent our careers in the trenches.

We are not theorists. We are battle-scarred practitioners offering you a distinctly unfair advantage in your deal evaluations.
